🌱 MORFO has developed a solution for large-scale ecological restoration of forest ecosystems.
💌 Subscribe to our newsletter : https://morfo.substack.com/
At MORFO, we know that fighting climate change is a race against time, and we are ready to deliver on this challenge. Our drone-based reforestation solution allows us to restore deteriorated natural areas at scale around the world in just a few weeks.
Our aim is to replenish and enhance the biodiversity of depopulated forests, enabling precise reforestation with indigenous plant species. We do this through science-backed innovation, in-depth R&D, and local community involvement.
With a single drone, we can process up to 50 hectares of forest imagery per day and plant 180 seed pods every minute, even across steep and difficult-to-access lands. By ensuring local participation in our reforestation efforts, we are building sustainable livelihoods for the most vulnerable communities.
MORFO is proudly backed by world-renowned scientific institutions such as the University of Sao Carlos UFScar, Brazilian agronomy company EMBRAPA, and the French lab trio INRAE, IRD, and CIRAD.
We believe that the key to combating climate change rapidly and at scale is by harnessing science, innovation, and local participation.

Launched in 2007 by entrepreneur and mother of five Nathalie Christen-Genty, MELIJOE is the world’s premier online fashion e-tailer for children ages 0-16. Featuring the latest in childrenswear trends inspired directly by adult runways, MELIJOE is home to some of the industry’s most sought-after labels in kid’s fashion.
MELIJOE is above all an international brand, featuring 100% authentic products, speedy worldwide shipping and a website translated in six languages. Thanks to a developed editorial strategy and magazine-inspired web layout, MELIJOE doubles as a digital news outlet for children’s fashion with Le Magazine, and between exclusive shopping edits, childrenswear news, trend reports and in-house photo shoots, MELIJOE is an extra-large world of digital fashion for the smallest of fashionistas.
MELIJOE is first and foremost the story of Nathalie Christen-Genty, who began to take an interest in children’s fashion after the birth of her first son in 2003. An avid fan of the adult’s fashion industry, she was disappointed with the clothing selection found in multi-brand boutiques at the time. With a background in digital project management, Christen-Genty observed a gap between the fashion industrys offer of attractive children’s clothes and an easy, style-driven shopping experience, leading to the launch of her e-commerce. MELIJOE quickly became the go-to reference for parents looking for designer brands mixed with practical and everyday casual styles.
MELIJOE’s office space is located in the heart of Paris, where a team of buyers, merchandisers, customer service representatives, IT developers, graphic designers, fashion editors, stylists, photographers and logistics professionals work daily to assure a unique shopping experience.
